Here's a government site - www.firstgov.gov Send an email to them. Its as easy as that. I've received .gov links before just by sending and email saying, "hey, here's an excellent resource you should link to from your .gov page." Granted, the sites I sent were of high quality. So, don't think some little not-so-nicely designed, affiliate site is going to get a link. Make sure its a resource they don't have listed and would ACTUALLY help them and people visiting those sites.
1. .gov sites. 2. If you have a resource that would contribute significantly to the content, you should suggest that a link to your site or page be included. • Be sure you're suggesting a unique, quality resource. • Send your request to the person responsible for maintaining the page/section of the web site where you'd lie to have your link included. • Spend a few minutes and write an email message that will be taken seriously and not get canned. "hey, you should link to this resource" probably isn't going to cut it, or get you taken seriously. • List other quality sites that currently link to your page. List any academic citations your page/site may already have. • Many additions to .gov sites are approved by committee, rather than an individual. • Mention that you would be glad to address any inquiries regarding your suggestion that they or a review committee may have. • Domain name registration may be a factor - our accepted suggestions had 5 yrs. remaining on the registration when submitted.
